SIMAHPP5 is available in three packages: Standard, Professional, and Enterprise (see also Table below for the summary).

Multi-site, multi-purpose hydro system

Up to 5 sites or project scenarios can be simulated in a single run. Here, users can select the number of project sites, flow data type, length of data record in years, type of scheme if single or multi-purpose, and estimated length of the penstock. Further more, users can select head loss methods, penstock materials, and measurement units for the simulation.

SIMAHPP is provided with flow and head data editors for up to 5 project sites or scenario. If the specific site is used for multi-purpose use, the net flow for the hydropower project will be taken into consideration for the energy simulation. In this case, additional benetits of the scheme will be valuated based on the volume of water for individual uses.

One or more projects flow hydrograph

SIMAHPP generates hydrographs for the flow and the head. It has sophisticated and rich visualization and export features

One or more hydro schemes simulation results

SIMAHPP is provided with sophisticated graphical outputs of simulation results. It provides up to 10 graphical analysis per project site, which is up to 50 graphical analysis in case of 5 project simulations. One output can be compared with another site's output. A particular variable can be compared with another variable. Axis can be reversed and resulting analysis is illustrated. This feature allow to visualize a combination of several hundreds or thousands possibilities.

Sensitivity analysis with respect to investment costs

User can perform the sensitivity of investment costs with changes on design flow and or hydraulic head. Desired head and/or flow value that provide investment cost estimations to local situation can thus be taken into consideration.
